Expert Tips For Perfecting This Strawberry Sangria
- Use Quality Ingredients: Choose a good wine and fresh, seasonal fruits. A dry red or crisp white wine works well. Fresh oranges, lemons, berries, and apples add vibrant flavors. Consider adding a splash of brandy for depth.
- Prep Ahead for Flavor: Make sangria ahead of time to let flavors meld. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. This allows fruit to infuse its flavors into the wine. Consider freezing fruit as ice cubes for added flavor without dilution.
How To Store Sangria
- Fridge: Sangria can last up to a week in the refrigerator, but I suggest enjoying it within 3 days of making. The fruit will start to break apart and the drink will start to lose its flavor after that time. If you are not able to finish it all in one sitting, re-cork the bottle and store it in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
- Freeze: You can freeze Sangria if made with wine and fruit. Place the sangria in plastic containers or sealable bags and store it in the freezer.
- Serve: When ready to serve, remove from the freezer and allow to thaw before serving. The Frozen Berries will be a nice treat! Fresh mint leaves can also be added before serving for an extra special touch. Enjoy!
